Schneider Electric Saves Space & Time with New NSXm Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy management and
automation, has launched the latest addition to its NSX family of
industrial circuit breakers. The Compact NSXm moulded case circuit breaker
is the smallest of its range and offers new features for fast, simple and
flexible installation. By choosing the NSXm, installers can save up to 40 per
cent of installation time.

Schneider Electric’s NSX range is designed to protect electrical
assets in demanding industrial environments. The NSXm expands this
offering with a solution for commercial and light industrial
applications. At 81 x 137 x 80 mm, it is ideal for installation in the
smaller switchboards, panels used by original equipment manufacturers,
and in industrial and commercial buildings.

The NSX’s small size is especially useful in boards with limited
space or which require multiple circuit breakers to be fitted.

The NSXm also introduces new installation and safety features for the
range that reduce installation time and boost value for customers. The
circuit breaker features a built-in DIN rail which can be easily
attached to the distribution board with a simple clip. Most market
solutions require an additional, special plate to attach to the
switchboard, making the NSXm an attractive, cheaper and faster
alternative.

Schneider Electric’s Everlink terminals replace the standard lug
connectors found on the majority of circuit breakers. When connecting
the NSXm to the switchboard, the Everlink terminals will reduce the
number of installation steps needed while providing the same secure
connection.

The Everlink terminals also feature Schneider Electric’s patented
creep compensation technology. Creep describes the gradual crushing and
degrading of copper conductors over time. Everlink reduces this effect
with an inbuilt spring that maintains contact pressure, making possible
accurate and durable tightening that holds the terminal in place. Not
only does this provide more space in the switchboard, it guarantees a
reliable and safe connection.

An earth-leakage circuit breaker (ECLB) variant of the NSXm is also
available. The ECLB NSXm senses leakage currents, and can interrupt the
circuit if the current is over threshold. This solution is ideal for
businesses that want to provide the highest level of electrical safety,
or for industries who are required to provide earth leakage protection
by law.

Alessandro de Danieli of Schneider Electric said, “We are very
excited to extend our NSX family of solutions to a whole new range of
businesses. We’re confident that the NSXm will please both installers
and end-users, with super-fast installation and the safety features that
typify the reliability and quality of the range.”

The NSXm is available globally and can be purchased from Schneider
Electric directly or via its network of wholesaler partners.
